Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening: Special Edition For: Playstation 2
It’s official: Capcom loves us. Nothing else can explain the special edition of “Devil May Cry 3,” which belongs right next to “Ninja Gaiden Black” on the short list of special editions that truly are special. Capcom took one of the best games of 2005, made it accessible for those who couldn’t get past level two, and threw in a wad of awesome new content for everyone else.The original “DMC3’s” crushing difficulty made it a game only the boldest of thumbs could handle. The special edition addresses this very arguable shortcoming by introducing a new checkpoint system that allows you to die in a level without being whisked all the way back to the beginning. You can also play as protagonist Dante’s brother Vergil, who not only makes the game’s barrage of enemies slightly easier to handle but also adds his own perspective to the storyline. Look for Vergil and his unique arsenal of attacks to get their own game someday. A character this fun to control deserves nothing less.
